Not sure if this is what you were using from Amain, but I have been using this for several years now ... I guess it may be a little trying to get the red plastic off, but once I figured to use a utility knife, lift the corner and fold over, then use the knife to hold the clear against what I am trying to secure as I peel the red plastic, it works pretty slick ...AND, it peels easily off the surface for removal, nice and clean ... I have also used just a dab of Shoo-Goo if I have time to let it sit overnight, that peels of clean as well ...
